Bill Nye, in his interview, starts with talking about his company and his position in it. He then goes on to talk about how if Earth loses the ability to keep exploring space because of funding, then the only people able to fly into space will leave and work in other areas. Then he speaks about how humans want to be able to go to other worlds for the better of mankind, that we have a natural curiosity to find the answer of where we came from and if we're alone in the universe. He finishes by saying that we as humans need to find a way to "influence or change the trajectory of asteroids." There are about ten thousand asteroids that are in Earth's orbit and we need to figure out how to speed up or slow down and asteroid in order for it to miss Earth.
